Al contrario di quanto si pensa, originariamente le sirene non erano descritte come creature con il corpo di donna e la coda di pesce, ma erano per metà uccelli. Gli antichi Greci, infatti, conoscevano molto bene le berte, che li accompagnavano durante la navigazione, e si sono ispirati proprio a questo uccello marino per creare il mito delle sirene e del loro canto melodioso: il tipico verso notturno emesso dalle berte durante il periodo di nidificazione lungo le scogliere, simile al pianto di un neonato, ha da sempre affascinato e spaventato le imbarcazioni di passaggio, contribuendo ad alimentare i racconti sull'esistenza di creature a metà tra donne e uccelli, capaci di incantare marinai e navigatori con il loro canto sublime
